(Same ship as Blamepaw)
Flame woke with a start. "What happened?" He groaned as he sat up, surprising Spider, his roommate. "You okay? You got drunk last night and got in a fight. Then...you got kinda violent," he said. That's right... He thought. The night before, they'd gone out to celebrate Soot's, Spider's girlfriend and the group's friend for as long as he could remember, birthday. He'd drank some but didn't remember much. It was all hazy. "Black tried to separate you, and she did, but she got quite a beating too," he looked remorseful as he explains. Flame started to panic. Had he got her hurt? "Where is she?" He asked. "She's...at the hospital," Spider winced. "And she's not looking good. Soot's with her now. I've been waiting for you to wake up." Flame shot to his feet but the living room of their apartment spin slightly. He ignored it and walked briskly to the door and grabbed the keys. Spider followed him without a protest. They drove to the ER and the nurse talked to them. "Yes," Nurse Pine said, with her cat eye glasses low on her pointed nose. "Room 102." She said and Flame instantly ran that way. He burst into the room, his ginger hair wild from sleep and blue eyes worried. Soot looked up, her long light gray hair flying and amber eyes red and puffy. "I-is she okay?" He asked. "Barely. She might not make it. Flame...she was already weak," Soot whispered. "F-Flame?" A faint whisper asked. Soot walked out of the room to where Spider was standing in the hall. Flame fell to the side of the bed. "Hey..." he said softly. "How ya doin?" He asked. "G-good...how's your head Sparky?" She smirked weakly. "I'm fine. Y-you...you could be dying..." She closed her eyes. "I'm just...in...in a critical condition..." she smiled and Flame laughed. "You're so stubborn," he smiled. "That guy..." she whispered. "We both took...quite the beating..." He remembered.

"Get outta here before I rip you apart!" The husky guy threatened. "Sparky, just let it go!" Black growled and grabbed his arm, attempting to drag him away. His larger frame easily ripped his arm from her small hand. "No way! This guy looked at me funny!" Soot and Spider had left a moment ago, thinking the other two were right behind them. "Why you little-" the guy snarled but Flame had sent a right hook to the jaw. The guy's head jerked the other way. Black started shouting as the guy hit Flame and gave him a black eye. Black jumped between them. "Quit!" She shouted. Flame tried to shove her out of the way but the guy punched her in the stomach and Flame's delayed reaction of shoving her aside only made it worse. She doubled over in pain and passed out. The bar manager came and kicked them both out. He called Soot and Spider to tell them what happened and they picked them up and took Black to the ER. She had felt sick although she barely drank anything.

Flame was in tears. "I'm so sorry...please..." he sobbed as his girlfriend's breathing slowed. "Don't leave..." He picked up her had and held it close to his face. Black's scraggly dark hair was in her face and he pushed it behind her ears. "I...I'll never leave you..." she whispered. Flame choked on a sob. "You can't get rid of me that easy Sparky..." "I-I need you. You're my rock," he sobbed. "Y-you'll be fine...you're strong..." she said. "I'm not...not emotionally...I-I am the strongest guy around but...I can't..." he trailed off. "You'll be fine...remember your morals..." she whispered. "You're my moral," Flame sobbed. "You're my reason for living." Black smiled. "You're mine...but...but it's my time..." "No. No you're stronger than this! You can fight it!" He whispered through tears. "I'm too tired of fighting..." she said. "It's...it's a sickness...don't know what...I didn't want you to worry so I-I didn't tell you." She had been coughing up blood the past week. "It doesn't matter," Flame argued. "You're stronger than this. Don't give up. Please." His stomach twisted in knots. "I...I have to go...I can't hold on any longer...I love you Sparky..." her hazel eyes drifted shut and her heart monitor started beeping frantically. "Wh-what does that mean?!" He yelled. "What's wrong?!" He stood up, still holding Black's cold hand. Nurse Pine came in with five other nurses who dragged a fighting and yelling Flame outside the room. "Hey, hey," Nurse Pine said. "Calm down calm down." "SHES DYING!" Flame shouted and pushed against her. Soot and Spider restrained him as the other nurses worked around Black's unmoving body frantically. "You're going to disturb the other patients!" Nurse Pine scolded. Flame broke down in tears. "She can't..." he sobbed. "I have to see her! She can't be gone! It's my fault!" He shouted. "It's not your fault man," Spider tried to reassure him. "She's not hurting anymore," Soot whispered. "I-I can't not have her...I can't!" Flame argued. "I killed her! I killed the one I love most!" Somewhere deep inside him he heard a calming voice whisper to him. "It's not your fault...I'm okay now...I'm always here with you..." The nurses whisked away Black's lifeless body and Soot and Spider dragged Flame back home. His eyes watched the table wheel away and out of sight, like he was in a daze and everything else was in slow motion. "I love you too," he murmured as he drove away from the hospital.
